How reliable must s² be?
=========================

Ideally, s² would never crash, drop a connection or have performance
issues. If the bug is in s², or it is a deficiency of the underlying
system that can be mitigated mostly robustly, report it!

Nevertheless, the Internet is somewhat unreliable and your server may be
struck by lightning, so you have to be prepared for a sporadic crash or
dropped connection anyway. A corollary: most of the time all will work fine.

  `-` if your mission to another star
  depends* on every single piece of
  complex equipment staying up with
  zero reboots for 200+ years, you have
  some serious technology problems.

For maximal -- but not 100% -- uptime, s² will support live-patching
or live migration.
